Django, as far as the front-end is concerned, has little to do with actually capturing the video. This is going to be on the frontend with your browser. Depending on your audience, they might not have browser web capture available and will have to use a browser plugin like flash or

For the problem with sorl-thumbnail not resizing to the same size as the others-- Are you cropping the image at all or just resizing? If you crop, I don't understand how the images wouldn't be all the same size. When I've used sorl, if the image is bigger than the dimensions to which I'm

Pattern for Ajax Forms using Django ModelForm and Class Based Views.

What's the best practice for this? In my function based views, I'd check if the form is_ajax() and if so, validate the form, render_to_string it to a form template, and return that in a json dump along with a status code. Then I check the status code to see if there are errors. If so, I

Yeah, for things like forms.py and views.py, it's best to use relative imports for the models.py within the same app. from .models import Object1 On Wednesday, February 6, 2013 7:22:19 PM UTC-7, frocco wrote: > > I found the answer. > in my app directory called checkout, I also have a

Re: On the fly image resize

Check out sorl-thumbnail. https://github.com/sorl/sorl-thumbnail . This lets you specify the desired size in a template.and can deal with cropping. It caches the results so it doesn't have to regenerate it each time. On Saturday, February 2, 2013 1:33:36 PM UTC-7, nYmo wrote: > > Hi all, >

Re: Moving a Django website to another server

If you're storing your images in your database (don't) then your db migration should have done it. If you're storing the paths in the database, let's hope they're relative paths to the images. You'll have to copy the images to your new server using the same approaches listed above. One

You can always use itertools.chain() if you want to do it in memory. Instead of doing it in memory as you've suggested, perhaps you need to index the account's PK so when your Items object manager queries for them, it can be quick. import itertools list1 = [1,2,3,4] list2 =

Re: Associating Form Data with Users

Your YourModelForm is a modelform of a model. If you're setting a property of that model, AND YOU WANT IT TO PERSIST IN THE DATABASE, you set the property equal to the request.user and save that object. If you don't have a foreignkeyfield to User, there's no way you're going to associate that
